Behind The Panels Issue 131 – Superman: Earth One Volume 3

Welcome to BEHIND THE PANELS Issue 131, the comic book show that makes crime pay full retail, even if we bought it on sale.

In this issue, Superman tempts children with his hot chocolate, and that’s not the only Sex Criminals on television. ALSO a brand new team-up series for DC, the Aurealis Award nominations and some kind of geek related challenge. THEN It’s The Black Hood, Suiciders, Spider-Gwen, Agent Carter and more in What We’ve Been Reading and Watching.

PLUS our Kick-Ass Pick of the Week: SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE VOLUME 3 by J. Michael Straczynski, and Ardian Syaf. This is BEHIND THE PANELS.
